No ! did you not watch the programme? We have cafes that sell locally farmed oysters.Posh Docks. Low lying coasts. Marinas at the end of quaint twisting short creeks. "Green" windfarms on our sandbanks. Beautifully flat water with warm light winds.

I will not mention Jaywick, but then nobody stops there anyway, so it does not count.

Yes i did watch the program, I was pulling your leg

I have several friends who have moved to Grimsby LOL i did warn them before they left...... in fairness its never really recovered from the loss of the deep sea fishing fleet

I've read so much about it that I'm interested in going to have a look at the place for myself. Are you able to recommend an hotel there? Nothing too expensive, four stars will do.

I do wonder, though, why they always use such odd boats for these programmes? The series with Griff Rhys-Jones and mates and that with David Bumblebee also showed boats that were far from what most of us sail. .

To be fair, those programmes featured the boats owned by the celebs in question

Got to be a place worth buying a few old properties ready for demolish & rebuild on the plots in a few years time. One could buy a house there for as little as £ 20k a few years ago
